Nasir, 7 years old

Wish submitted by:

Nasir is in foster care and has had some difficulty adjusting to being away from his family. Fortunately, he is able to live with his siblings, who have been placed in the same foster home, though it isn’t quite the same as being at home. Nasir is a very sweet child, but he sometimes struggles with his emotions because he hasn’t yet learned how to cope with all the changes in his life. He loves Pokémon and anything related to his favorite pocket monsters! Nasir enjoys attending school and has really started to blossom now that he can go consistently. He has also found ways to connect with his religion and culture through a special bond with his teacher. He loves sharing his family’s beliefs and cultural practices with his foster family.

Nasir is celebrating Ramadan for the first time without his family. His foster family does not observe Ramadan, but they are trying to help him stay connected to his culture and family while he is in foster care. Nasir does not have any books about Ramadan or Eid, and he would love to have some that can help him learn more about this special time of year. He would enjoy having his foster parent read these books to him every night during the holiday so that he can celebrate and learn more about it.
